Letter: Don't dismiss PGA volunteers and fans

A ticket to the upcoming PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

A recent letter-writer appears to sneer at the volunteers who are volunteering their time for the opportunity to see golf's "elite" from "inside the ropes" at the PGA Championship.

I may never play golf at Oak Hill, and I'm not looking for "a tiny taste of high society." The writer seems to have an elitist attitude as he dismisses the worth of 3,700 people he does not know. If you don't like golf, don't watch or play it. Why is it necessary to condemn everyone who does?

Businesses in Monroe County will have a better year because of the PGA's visit, benefiting the so-called "99 percent." Rochester will have exposure on a national level, highlighting the area for millions of people.

I would suggest that the writer attend some cultural competence classes so that you can learn to live with the other "99 percent" of people in this area. As an aside, our President golfs.
